INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 ¼ cup cornmeal
  • ¾ cup gluten free flour, sifted, see notes
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cup oil + for greasing the muffin tin
  • 3 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 2 medium jalapeno, diced
  • For serving more butter, honey

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl whisk sugar, baking powder, cornmeal, flour, salt until combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs and then add oil, melted butter and milk.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl mix jalapenos and sprinkle with flour just enough to cover all the jalapenos. After that, stir the jalapenos into the batter.
  • Brush muffin tin with olive oil or batter and divide the butter equally between 15 cups. (You’ll need to fill up about ⅔ of each cup). Add a jalapeno slice on top of each muffin (optional but makes a beautiful presentation).
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the thickest part will be almost dry.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the muffin tin. Remove to wire rack and brush with melted butter (optional).
  • Serve with honey, more butter, chili’s, stews and many more!

NOTES

  • You can also bake this jalapeno cornbread muffin in an 8 or 9-inch cake pan with removable bottom. Bake at the same temperature 350 F for 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cornbread comes out almost dry.
  • Flour - I've used my go-to gluten-free blend from the Schar brand - Schar Bread Mix. You don’t need to add any extra ingredients besides baking powder as stated in his recipe (but is not required in all of the recipes with this flour) as it already consists of a thickener. 
  • How to Freeze - These muffins taste best when served right out of the oven but feel free to freeze them in an airtight container or sealable bag. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature and warm up in the oven (wrapped in foil) until warm to touch.
